The Bureau Number on the side of my photo is 131911 and not 137911 as it appears to be. Check the Warbird Registry and you can see photos as it flies in now. So thanks Mark for posting your photo that allowed me to correct the Id of my photo.

There could have been more than 1 Albatross in the yard at that time. This is the only one I had a photo of. They did move the aircraft around so it could have been at another location in the yard.bill word

I could have bought it for scrap prices! Sure i need an Albatross around my neck. Neat AC though. Thanks for the photos.

Bill Word's photo of 137911 is 137911, if you copy & paste the photo and increase magnification on the white area of the tail you can make out '379' and the nose area '911'

Now the Mark Fidler photo of N7027Z really has me baffled. Neither 131911 nor 137911 were with the US Coast Guard. I have examined all photos I can find of USCG Albatross at MASDC and I cant find an Albatross that has a the small cross above the front u/c doors. Unfortunately the nose serial number and base name and the MASDC park code have been well removed.The colour scheme on the engine cowling in nonstandard but could have been sourced from scrap. The wing tanks are not standard USCG white. I don't think it is either 131911 or N7027Z.
